Internet Explorer 7

Hi,

Everytime I start up my Internet Explorer it quickly flashes up with a Windows Installer window and says 'Preparing to install...'

I have unistalled IE7 and reinstalled it but it is still doing the same. It was working fine yesterday until I installed Office 2007. Does anyone know how I can stop this from happening as it is really starting to annoy me!!!

Tash!

When I went on Set Program Access and Defaults --> Custom it had Use my current Web Browser selected and I ticked Internet Explorer and clicked Ok... go back and its gone back to how it was originally!!!!

Have you got any other Web Browsers installed :thinking: ,The install comes up with install it the defaults & access are set wrong going into internet options & setting it default there a good idea as well i also reccommend doing a Reg scan to get rid of any extra access keys in your registry i recommend using CCleaner & give it a good seeing to.

I have now gone back to IE7 and tried the No Add Ons version and it still does it so Add Ons don't seem to be the issue.

I agree.

Have you by any chance installed anything (other that Office 2007) that may possibly be blocking changes to the registry – Ad-Aware SE for example or a new anti virus program?
